For those of you who didn't know, Trip has been having difficulty gaining weight. At his 2 week visit he was the same weight that he had been 8 days before at his last appt. This caused us some concern, so we brought him back to weigh again 3 days later, to find he hadn't gained even a tenth of an ounce. So Tom recommended that we start supplementing after every nursing with 1-2 ounces of formula. I hated to do this because I didn't want to mess up nursing & his schedule & my supply, but we didn't have much choice. So in 48 hours we went back to weigh again (this morning) & he had gained 6 ounces! I was so relieved. So we will continue supplementing for another few weeks & then he should even out & we can phase out of it & continue with just nursing. Whew-I guess he just has daddy's ridiculous metabolism!
Taking brother to the doc to weigh in.
